Wheel arch extensions
- Thread starter kasbatts
- Start date
are you talking about csl arches? real or aftermarket? seems like i saw some csl arches on coupeguy's website a few weeks ago.
Didn't realise there was a difference, something like what Duane Sword has on his car, what are those?

I have real CSL arches - brace yourself they are not cheap to buy
Right, thanks for that Duane, how much are we talking? and who sells them?

coupeguy has chrome repros for $275 / set, guess he sold his set of originals. but as Duane says - they are fricking expensive ... usually a 4 digit number, and there aren't 3 zeroes in it.
Right, I get the picture, and then there's the conversion to NZ dollars, freight and duty and then GST here in NZ because they are over $400.
Looks like they could be about $1800 odd landed here

I'm selling a CSi (my father's) that had them installed in the late 70's or early 80's. The originals are chromed stainless steel based on what I have read (can't remember the source), but they are near spotless (minus a parking incident that scraped the right rear) and have held up better than all the other chromed parts on the car's exterior.
Arch extensions on Ebay Germany
Found these a few days ago as they often pop up on Ebay in Germany. They are chrome on brass I think and slightly different shape to original CSL arches but a hell of a lot cheaper. Postage is half as much again. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, still thinking about it, the wife and daughter aren't that keen on the look, say it makes the car look "old man ish"
Ba, there's just no accounting for some people's taste!

I love them, I think they tie in the chrome belt-line strips above and overall tie-in very nicely with the chrome bumpers near them.
